It's about time! As many of you know this year has not been pleasant with the school system. Summer vacation is a welcomed time in this family. Meetings, Department of Education, School committee, Advocated hundreds of emails, phone calls, letters and conversations... none of which were fun. Who knew being a proactive parent could be such a bad thing when it came to a school. Over the summer the Superintendent of schools will be looking through all their special education classes and finding the right fit for Julia. although nothing is resolved yet we do feel our voice, and the voices of others have started to be heard. I did however assure the Superintendent that I would not be satisfied until all the voices were heard, that appeasing me isn't good enough now, that there is a problem that needs to be fix. So what came of this year? Julia ended up being a blessing to many kids, some of who she will never meet, because she had a need and the need wasn't met mama bear and papa bear stepped in. We stood our ground, said what we needed and went to those that could help. Fighting for what you child needs in a school system is never fun, but at least now the parents in our school will be heard in the upcoming school year... something new thanks to Julia :)
That being said BRING ON SUMMER VACATION!
